These are the same people laying claims to Lagos and telling the Aworis how to run their state and politics.

What are they still waiting for? They should do quick and rename them fast fast. I don't understand the obsession that these Ebonyi people have with Anambra. Anambra and Ebonyi don't even have anything in common be it natural boundaries, origin, language etc. And the truth is that Ebonyi are not really Igbos. You will confirm this when you listen to their strange language that sounds more like Hausa and nothing like Igbo.
One reason why I like Yoruba is that so far your language resemble Yoruba like 2%, the Yoruba people will tell you that you are a Yoruba. No matter what you tell them, they will not accept. There are hundreds of Yoruba languages like Ikale, Egba, Ijebu, etc that do not really sound like the mainstream Yoruba language, but the Yorubas accept every single one of them as Yoruba. So it's strange when Igbos discriminate languages. I don't really understand why variations in dialects can really mean much. Can you enlighten me?

Ebonyi people are looked down on by all other Igbos especially the guys from Anambra. They claim Ebonyi people are meant to be their slaves because they are not real Igbos. These are the people who like to play like they are some innocents when they leave that South East

A VERY UNSANITARY LOCALITY NOT SUITABLE FOR HUMAN INHABITATION.



THAT IS Y I DID NOT EVEN PAY ANY ATTENTION.




DID GEORGE W BUSH NOT ASK THEM TO LEVEL AND RECONSTRUCT THAT AREA?



THEY ARE CHANGING NAME TO DECIEVE THE VOTERS VIA PLAYING TRIBAL CARD.

Sometimes I wonder if Nigerians will ever make progress.

Within Igbo land, there is micro-marginalisation. Anambra sees itself as the authentic Igbo and badmouthing other SE states like Ebonyi and Imo.

My Anambra friend speaks with condescending derision of Abakiliki and Imo people.

Talk about majoring in the minor..

Your heart is filled with much bitterness and hate against an Anambra man but extending it between Anambra and other South Eastern states is out of it. I stay in Onitsha and I can tell u such a thing doesn't exist.
Kingosytex:
The hatred an average Anambra man has for his Ebonyi counterpart is legendary, it's so visible that the Anambra man makes jest and mockery of his counterpart at every given opportunity.

If you visit let's say Onitsha and introduce yourself as an Ebonyian, you don buy market be dat grin
You would be subjected to all manner of mockery, derogatory words will be thrown at you as if you have done something wrong__your only crime is being an Ebonyian.
They will mock you and tag you 'Nwa Abakeleke' grin everybody is from Abakeleke. Their ignorance won't allow them to understand that not every Ebonyian is from Abakeleke same way not every Anambrarian is from Awka.


A whole lot of places especially in the metropolitan areas in Onitsha don't rent out their houses again to Ebonyians yet, they all claim to be Igbos.
They are very angry and annoyed and even questioned why an Ebonyi man (Ekpa) should be the one spearheading Biafra's agitation in the absence of Kanu.
The truth here is that they see an Ebonyi man as way below them. An Anambra man might give up Biafra just because an Ebonyi man is the champion.
If there should be anything like Biafra, there would be a terrible implosion. It would be a clash of egos, what is witnessing in Nigeria might be a child's play because the 'timid' Ebonyians as referred to by Anambrarians are waking up and won't just allow anyone to bully them. I don't think an Enugu man will allow that too, neither will an Imo or Abia man.
There would be a clash of interests.

I just copied your comment and kept safe somewhere. Very apt to the highest level.
Their ignorance will not even allowed them know that Not all EBOYIANS ARE FROM ABAKALIKI, Abakaliki is not even up to 25% of EBOYIANS and they have conveyed this horrendous hatred to even little Children who now sees Ebonyi people as inferior when in actual sense it is not. Every State has average and high standards citizens

I am from Anambra state,I think Soludo should have retained the 'Abakiliki' name of the street. Or equally rename another important street to 'Abakaliki street'.
Peter Obi and rest governors didn't change the name,so why Soludo?

AsomughaChuks05:
The name Club road is more befitting given the array of clubs and other entertainment venues in that area. The new name is here to stay. Even Google Maps has also effected the name change in their App. Ebonyi state government can go ahead and do whatever they want but they should be careful about blowback due to the large number of Ebonyi indigenes who have taken refuge in Anambra state both in urban and rural areas.
Ebonyi state government will rename ALL the Anambra ilked streets in Abakaliki and nothing will happen.


The worst you'll do is deny Abakaliki people in Anambra to rent flats or open businesses and they'll simply go to another state. Aba and Port Harcourt are more prosperous and welcoming to Abakaliki people so you're encouraged to eject them.

If this is proposed in another region, most especially the land they allegedly develop, there will be sit-at-home for 1 full month.
